Uncommon card · No. 116714

Pinochle (English: ), also called pinocle or penuchle, is a trick-taking ace–ten card game, typically for two to four players and played with a 48-card deck. It is derived from the card game bezique. Players score points by trick-taking and by forming combinations of characters into melds. It is considered part of a "trick-and-meld" category which includes the game belote. Each hand is played in three phases: bidding, melds, and tricks. The standard game today is called "partnership auction pinochle".
